Hats & Bonnets
Newborn Baby Hats & Bonnets
Tunes newborn hats are made from 100% cotton interlock jersey — a soft, breathable fabric that's gentle on a newborn's sensitive skin. The collection includes four styles: basic hats with flat external seams, knotted hats, bunny-ear hats, and tie-up bonnets.
How to choose the right newborn hat size
Hat size is based on head circumference, not age. For newborns (0-3 months), look for a head circumference of 38-40 cm (15-15.7 in). For babies aged 3-6 months, 42-44 cm (16.5-17.3 in) usually fits best. To measure, wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of the head — just above the eyebrows and ears.
Newborn hat styles explained
Basic hat — features a fold-up brim to adjust the fit and an anatomically correct shape that doesn't press on a newborn's developing skull. A common first choice for the hospital bag.
Knotted hat — a classic style that can be worn tied or unfastened as a simple beanie.
Bunny-ear hat — a playful style with decorative ears, most often chosen for baby girls.
Tie-up bonnet — fastens with ties under the chin, offering a secure fit for a newborn's first days.
Pediatric nurses typically recommend packing at least 3 hats for the maternity hospital, since newborns need frequent changes.
Fabric & safety
All Tunes hats are sewn with external (flat-lock) seams, so there's no seam pressure or irritation against the baby's head — a detail often overlooked but important for skin comfort in the first weeks.
